This is the README file for the 'catoptions' package. VERSION Version 0.2.7h, 2014/08/29 LOCATION ON CTAN macros/latex/contrib/catoptions SUMMARY The 'catoptions' package changes package loading internals so that all subsequently loaded packages can rely on normal/standard catcodes of all ASCII characters. The package defines canonical control sequences to represent all the visible ASCII characters. It also provides robust options parsing mechanisms, in addition to many TeX programming tools.
